This video is excellent. But to be completely honest...I think I prefer "normal" dressage to western dressage. Mostly because I prefer the looks of traditional english show attire as compaired to western attire. That sounds really weird I'm sure. BUT...It would be wonderful to wear jeans and cowboy boots rather than breeches...hmmmm....But anyways this video is excellent for an introduction to Western Dressage. Even if I find it really weird that after the final salute you just turn around and exit at A. We always proceded to C then said "Thank You" to the judge before continuting along the rail and THEN exited at A....not sure which one is wrong here...
I would have loved this type of competition as a kid. I was forced to western pleasure on an Arab. Circles she hated - competitive to the point of "racing" all the QH's around the arena. This would have been 'brain" work for her.
